JOHN MCINTOSH
I have lingered on the edge
Of eternity’s jagged mouth,
Toyed with the demise
Of the mortal coil
And withdrawn, again and again
The desperate hold
Of dreaming’s grasp
Is a formidable opponent
In the long steep climb
To Freedom’s mount
Giving up
Must become
Giving in
Or the terrible cliff of destruction
Will demand your timid claim
This essential surrender
Is the slim but unbreakable
Cord that ties
Its slender thread
To Life’s breath
Until the cry
Goes up
Of victory
And Freedom’s soft embrace
Drowns the imposter in ITs Love
